20 Buchheit, Tyler, Gunther, Kuehne, Rowe, Rockwell The Mortar Board ideals which form a basis for picking its members are scholar- ship, leadership, and service. Six girls were chosen this year to carry on the program of service in this national women’s senior honorary society. A welcoming party for freshmen women and new students, teas during the year, and the campus sing are but a few of the activities in which this organization was engaged during the past year. One of the outstanding events of this year’s board was the public pledging held early in April for the incoming pledges, a ceremony which was of great interest to the student body. The advisors for Mortar Board during the past year have been Dean Smyth, Mrs. Helen Arnold, Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, and Mrs. Thomas Carpenter. Members are: Jean Rowe, President Betty Buchheit, Vice-President Gwen Gunther, Secretary Helen Kuehne, Treasurer Harriet Rockwell, Secretary Virginia Tyler

Pein GA Sh Oo Guth, Doyle, Velde, Siebert, Christiansen, Harlan According to the Greenbook, the Friars are a group of senior men chosen for “general qualities, personal traits, leadership, loyalty, and devotion to the college.” Although the organization is largely an honorary one, a recognition of past accomp- lishments and future promise, the Friars do perform some functions. For one thing, they select their successors and the members of Key Club. They contributed their part to make the party for the freshmen at the beginning of the year a success. Dur- ing the past year, they met at several luncheons with members of the college adminis- tration to present the student’s viewpoint on campus problems. One of their favorite pastimes seems to have been playing hide and seek with the Gale photographer, but he finally caught them. Members are: Allan Christiansen Jack Doyle Walter Guth Homer Harlan Robert Siebert Robert Velde 21
